Reversible sponge rubber mop, brush or duster

Abstract

A reversible sponge or foam rubber mop, brush or duster which includes a resiliently compressible block or sheet of a synthetic or sponge rubber generally square in configuration with its thickness substantially less than the length of its sides. The compressible block is arranged in a retainer of preferably resilient material which provides a holder for the resilient rubber block, the block being held in a folded condition. The block is frictionally engaged within the retainer by means of a T-shaped member having an elongate handle in the form of a mopstick passing through an opening in the block and an aligned opening in the retainer, the retainer having a flared entrance and an expanded interior so that the elongate handle of the T-shaped member may be inserted into the block, threaded through the opening in the retainer and the block pulled into the retainer by means of the handle pulling on the crossbar of the T, being held frictionally within the retainer during use. The block is reversible to enable multiple edge use. A hollow ferrule on the retainer has its axial passageway aligned with the retainer opening to receive the handle and stabilize same during use.
